Case studies

Case Studies of CReLEs Practices in Partner Countries.

A multi-modal case study of six schools per country, chosen from the pool of schools that completed the initial survey will seek to elicit the experiences of all stakeholders in relation to the leadership of teaching and learning in schools that have refugee and/or migration background students (e.g. Principals, Class teachers, Students, Parents) using a multi-method approach (e.g. interviews, assessment biography).

Within the project the research on case studies (CS) aims:

• to test the conceptual framework;
• to complement the findings of the survey;
• to elicit the experiences of all stakeholders in relation to the leadership of teaching and learning in schools that have refugee and/or migration background students;
• to contribute to the development of the CReLES training programmes (the CReLES framework) and to drive the development of innovative materials.

The guiding research questions for this part of the study are: 

How are school leaders and schools responding to the challenges of culturally diverse schools and classrooms?

What are critical issues and conditions and what are promising strategies for school development toward culturally responsive schools and classrooms?
